Hi btilly,

I did not really understand what you were talking about. I will do my best. You wrote:

You cannot use the phrase Jesus spoke because Muslims dont believe he died.

What does it matter if we believe he died or not have to do with me using the phrase Jesus spoke? Jesus (PBUH) is our prophet also. The point is he is alive with God right now my friend. We both believe in that much right?

Besides, we don't say that he did not die. We say as the Qur'an says that he was not killed. He was raised by God is what the Qur'an says.

They plotted and schemed, but so did God, and God is the best schemer. Thus, God said,
"O Jesus, I am putting you to death, and raising you to Me; I will save you from the disbelievers."
[ Quran 3:54-55 ]

They claimed that they killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of God! In fact, they never killed him; they never crucified him; they were led to believe that they did.
[ Quran 4:157 ]

Even the bible says they tried to kill him but could not. God took Jesus after Jesus submitted himself in Islam (complete submission to the will of God) remember the garden where he prayed the night before so they did not take his life he gave it remember? That is why the Romans were so astonished to see that he died so quickly which was a miracle even to them. They wanted to see him suffer. God did not let him suffer he rose him up to himself. That is why the Jews were so angry that their evil plot did not work. They wanted to kill him but did not get the satisfaction they had to stop him fulfilling that prophecy of submitting himself to God's will as Abraham had in Islam.

We cannot ignore the reminder in Isaiah 46:9 where God speaks of Himself

"I am God, there is no other;, I am God, there is none like me." (La Elaha Ella Allah).

peace
